Went to the annual R&S Speed Shop car show today. 4.5 acres of hot and loud beautiful cars. 274 showed up this year. Several Oldsmobiles were there, all 70-72 and a 56. I tend to gravitate to multiple carbs so enjoy. Also the early sixties Ford was a 12.08 beast at Ponoma back in the day. That's fast for that land yacht. The Henry J was unique using a mailbox for a scoop. The straight six with the two carbs had a Fenton exhaust header on it that looked aluminum. Never seen anything like it. Not a real big fan of turbos or blowers but the Chevelle had a very nice looking turbo set up on it. The last pic of the 70 Road Runner caught my eye because when I was in 7th grade a secretary who worked with my father bought the last one on the lot and she was an older woman that just didn't seem to fit with a new muscle car but there it was. This car looked exactly like hers.

 

Cool stuff. Looks like Tedd was there with his 55. Sure he was.

 

Looks like it was a nice turnout... 1964 Ford was one of my first vehicles back in the day... I had one of three 64 Ford convertibles in the high school parking lot in my junior year... Those were the days...

 

Very cool, i love that Ford and 1970 Roadrunner is my favorite Mopar.I was 16 in 1970, i would drive to the Plymouth dealer and drool over the Roadrunners and Baracudas.

 

Where was this held?

 

Portsmouth, Rhode Island
R&S Speed Shop
In the last pic the owner is talking to people as they leave. I used to work for him in the 70's and his passion for old cars is abundant.

 

Thanks for sharing, looks like there was something for everyone.

 

Looks like it would have been a great show,very cool stuff in the pics.
I always have liked multiple carbs but always considered that type of stuff out of reach for me. Now that I have a set up,I am really drawn to them,been doing a lot of research.
That 6 cyl with the Fenton header is nice,even has an old glass fuel bowl.
Thanks for sharing!

 

wish i knew, i would have gone. Nice cars!!
